The elimination of the champion of Kosovo, the Balkans, by Santa Coloma of Andorra has also caused a stir in the media of the region.
"Last year they defeated Dinamo Zagreb, now they are eliminated by the amateurs of Andorra", wrote the Croatian medium "24sata.hr".
Balkan was eliminated in the first qualifying round of the Champions League by Santa Coloma after penalties. The 120 minutes played at "Zahir Pajaziti" in Podujevo on Tuesday ended 2:1 in favor of the Andorrans. With the same result, Suharekas won last week in Andorra.
It was Santa Coloma's first win in European competition, after 17 consecutive defeats.
It is considered a big failure for the champion of Kosovo who failed to advance to the second round. Balkani will continue the competition in the second round of the Conference League.
